Impact Through Partnerships
This new three-year funding (2025–2028) will support the expansion of our work with Fife Council Music Service and Renfrewshire Council Music Service, specifically in partnership with Fife Pupil Support Services and Renfrewshire Council’s Flexible Learning Resources.

Expanding Our Work in ASN Settings
Live Music Now Scotland is extremely grateful to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for their continued support. This grant follows a two-year award (2022–2024) from their Teacher Development Fund, delivered in partnership with South Ayrshire Council Music Service, which focused on work with children and young people with additional support needs. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with the Foundation as we expand and develop this exciting strand of work.
